Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Crafter: Additional comparator output

As the crafter currently allows for a max comparator strength of 9, I'd say the additional values could be used for stacks. 1-9: Amount of items and filters present 10-15: How many times the recipe can be repeated according to the current inputs, minus 9. For example, if 12 stone brick blocks can be crafted because the recipe outputs 4 per, then each slot would be filled with 3 items, so the comparator will output 11, as - +9: The entire recipe grid is full - +2: The recipe can be crafted 2 more times (3 times actually, but -1 because that's basically the +9)

    I like the idea, but I think some different weird, specific results would be more ideal and have better use cases.
    I would prefer something more specific, so we could do a load of different things.
    10 is if any slot has a stack size of 2. Non Stackables and disabled slots count as 1 for this check.
    11 is for if all slots have 2. Non Stackables and disabled do count for 2 for this.
    15 is of course if literally ever slot is maxed out filled.

    There are 2 reasons for 10.

    Firstly, it's a signal strength that tells us more than necessary items in, but not enough for 2 crafts.

    The second is that I reckon we can make some crazy compact item filters, as it could filter 9 different items, and we get a signal any time any stack is increased. How, I don't know, but I think it could be done.

    But definitely we need a different output for if 2 of each item stack or max stack sizes
